NEW YORK, September 19.-Cooper Un-
ion was packed tonight with Anarchists
and Socialists. The audience numbered
$500, and assembled to protest against the
hanging OF the condemned Chicago An
archists. UsbeIs, wearing red ribbons on
their breasts, handed every person who en-
tered the hall copy of the incendiary
proclamation which was distributed on the
streets the latter part Of last week, and
which was sent in these dispatches at the
Anarchists should never be execu-
ted. Many women were in the hall,
and they all wore red ribbons, and affected
tie red Anarchist colors in their dresses
There were fifty police scattered about the
hall. The notes of the Marseillaise were
struck up by the band, and q prolonged
wild cheer followed. The music was
doomed bomb throwers looked down from
the front of the platform. They were
draped with red and black, and wreathed
with smilax. A black and a red banner
stood in the rear of the stage. On the
platform were Herr Most, Walter Vroo-
man, Col. Hinton, of the Leader, Mrs.
Black, Mrs. Bandish, and 200 others.
'VIve Herr Most greeted the chief, as
to the tune of the Marseillaise he stepped
upon the platform with red rose in his
buttonhole and slouch hat pulled down
over his eyes. Vrooman was chosen
chairman. In his opening speech Vroo-
man quoted the Bible to show that Moses
slew a man whom he found committing
wrong, and Miss Jones rose up and
shouted: "Three cheers for the Bible"
Vrooman continued by saying that If the
Chicago brethren had SAID anything that
was wrong IL was no reason why they
should hang. "If they hang those men In
Chicago then" he added, they can hang
every man who speaks here tonight"
There was great conspiracy among the
uling classes to crush the labor move.

Nrooman presented set of resolutions
at the close of his speech which met with
the approval of the crowd. They con-

would be untrue to themselves If they

A contribution followed from the audi

But the bero of the night was Most. His
speech was as follows: Friends and An

Developing Strength Enough to Make the
George Men Uneasy.
NEW YORK, September 19.-The Mail aud
Express says: 1T now seems more than
probable that there will be deal between
the Socialists acd the United Labor party.
A good mauy of the United Labor men
who would have opposed such scheme
on Saturday are in favor of il to-day.
EulbOf OCueVllCu anu OC0eI members Oh
the SOcialistic patty are in a jubilant
mood. Their followers remained away
from the United Labor mass meeting on
Saturday night and it was a comparative
failure. In addition to this, ia the fight
in the Central Labor Union yesterday they
developed q strength that made the George
men sniver. In the two ballots
that were taken, they made
an excellent showing. In the first
which vss an individual vote, the count
was eighty seven to seventy against them.
In the second, which was a vote by organi-
zation, It stood fifty-two to forty-four.
This was q decided setback TO the George
men, who held that since the Syracuse
Convention the Socialists mad no strength.
Figuring on the vote of yesterday the
Socialstic leaders say to-day that they will
poll more than enough votes in the COM
ing election to neutralize the vote of the
United Labor Party in this city. On the
other hand, the George men say the vote
OF yesterday is not fair test, and that no
estimate can be based upon il. Neverthe-
less there are those among the labor men
who say that Mr., George Will hold out the
Olive branch to the Socialists before many
days"
